Well diagnosed. Lots of bizarre issues to be had on can bus vehicles. Scoping out the can high/low lines a must. Well done on getting to the bottom of this tricky issue.

Dude thank you so much I had a similar issue after I washed my vehicle (2011 RRS HSE Lux edition). Took apart the back panel like you did, unplugged the "black box", didn't see any water or corrosion but once I plugged it back in everything worked fine! Also, my key fob is old and busted which is why I first assumed it was a key fob issue... It was not. This solved my problem thank you again!

I have an LR4 with a failing battery which AAA seem unable to diagnose correctly. As a result the voltage lines to all the electronics are affected when trying to crank the engine. This glitched the smart key system causing it to hang, and not being able to start the vehicle at all. This solved the smart key read problem. I guess it's a hard reboot to the system in removing the fuse and reconnecting it again. This video saved towing and paying through all orifices to a Land Rover dealership. Thanks and good work!

Great diagnosis, Im glued to your channel. 👍

A very very useful video! You worked hard to find that obscure fault. Well done and thanks for posting this video.

Wish I could give you 100 thumbs up.. I had this issue in the discovery 4 (driving me mad) but the 1 minute fuse replacement worked for me. 😃🙌🏾 Thank you for the video..

Great troubleshooting! Even though some say you pulled the wrong fuse you fixed the cause not the symptoms. Any customer would love it if they didn't have to come back for the same issue! Word of mouth is crucial and I bet you got lauded on this. You got my thumbs up!!

Absolutely spot on diagnosis. Great find, goes to show that when bundling the systems together and they all relies on a good line of communication that any disturbance can rear it's ugly head as a no start.

Bro saved me a lot of money thank u for the tips..unplugging the battery for 30 min did the job for me..

Great video and excellent diagnosis, sir. Look forward to fresh content! Take care!

I am in awe of your skills and persistence...

Awesome diagnosis, this is next level!!!

Awesome video man it looks like it’s coming in through the roof drains that’s typical for those and Cadillacs

Excellent diagnosis and repair.

Interesting video, a good one to keep in mind. As others have already said though, you pulled the wrong fuse which could have completely messed with your direction of diagnosis, but luckily it had nothing to do with that land rover bulletin you found anyway.

Lots of work to find the problem. But you might have gotten lucky. You pulled F5, not F17 (freeze frame the fuse layout). 'IF" pulling F17 "might" have generated a logical reset in the system, it may have started fine giving you a false fix. Then, if you found no further problems at the time you might have delivered back to the customer, only to have the problem show up when it got wet again, leaving you with a come-back or worse (a bad reputation if they decided to take it elsewhere). It happens to a lot of us. Well done video. Thanks for sharing. P.S. I wonder if the KVM problem that's being investigated might be the caused by this same issue of water getting in the Parking Aid Module. It 'would be intermittent', and changing the KVM wouldn't fix the problem. 🤔

You might be correct. It can be difficult sometimes when I’m trying to film and work at the same time, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I pulled the wrong fuse. I’ll have to go back and check the fuse layout on the video. Thanks for the heads up!

Doubt it would have provided a false fix. The can bus signal was completely messed up. Other than the wrong fuse identification, this ended up the right way and in this situation i don't think pulling the correct fuse would have changed the path taken.

6 1/2 Hrs later "things went from 0 to 100 real quick" dash stripped down😳😳 it sure did! From fuse and battery to inside the dash. Another great vid! Key em coming.🤘🤘

looks as if the CAN bus can wreak havoc with our 'newer' vehicles...thanks for your insights !!!

Can't believe you guys can actually criticize this gentleman's effort to help thousands of people for free. You go to the dealer with this and it will cost $2500 to $5000 by the time they are done, trust me I know first hand. Wish I had seen this before. This video is amazing and all I can say is wow. EXCELLENT WORK SIR. And by the way, that corrosion will shut everything down eventually. Dealer tried to clean it up for me and still will not work. Its obvious water and electronics don't mix well. I had all the same symptoms with the radio, navigation and dashboard going out after the rain. It was caused by the Phillips Auto Glass after they changed my windshield. Had the dealer replace it since the car was already there.

Obviously some things never change. I have the 2014 Range Rover Sport and it has got a rear quarter glass or liftgate seal leak, which has run down inside and taken out the Differential Control Module. Great design and engineering foresight caused the factory to mount the module upside down, which then makes the pressed metal cover form a cup just perfect for rainwater collection. Still waiting for the new part to get here after the attempted shafting by the local RR importer.

Land Rover. One of the worst makes to work on. Great find! Heck of a job!

Great job bro. That's an awesome video and thank you for following through until the end.

I really liked your explanation very good job

Love this video, thank you!!!

Hey Eric nice diag. I tip. Sometimes,not every you can pull fuses that power modules your trying eliminate. That way you dont have to tear everything apart. Ive been very successful doing that many times.

Very informative. Appreciate

You are real good, thanks so much, I appreciate you more

It was an excellent fine. Thank you for sharing that with us.

I was literally gonna give you the same answer you got... I’m glad I forwarded it to the end lol ps they all leak cover the modules with plastic and you’ll save the customer money since the amp and other modules are down there

You find F17 and pull out F5. Great to see you find the fault though.

i know this video is old, not trying to add any negative energy. just wanted to point out you pulled F5 fuse instead of F17. however, I do appreciate the follow thru with the rest of the diagnosing its helping me find my tail with my customers LR4

I heard horror stories about poor Land Rover reliability but took the plunge and bought a CPO 2012 LR4 (7 years from time of service/100K bumper-to-bumper warranty, which gave me comfort) and had zero problems with it. Then we bought a 2016 Range Rover Sport and again have had no electronic problems (but the rear hatch sometimes won't close tightly using the motor and has to be slammed shut, which I think is a strut or gasket misalignment); it's a great car. Yesterday we bought a Range Rover (CPO). I think reliability of Land Rover in general has improved significantly since the marque moved away from Ford and Tata Motors invested billions in the company. Service at the dealership has been good. This is in contrast to my 2015 F150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost which developed gasket leaks just after passing out of warranty requiring a complete engine rebuild that took three weeks for return to service.

You are awesome I'm New in the channel tank you for that

One of the few you tube😀 videos that actually kept to the point and followed through to a conclusion. 10/10 Great explanation. Thank you. Just curious, was your parking module installed upside down? Mine was and was full of water.

The price you pay for features you really don't need.

Well done man. I got to ask, how and where did you get the how the correct waveform should look like?

Some people saying he removed the wrong fuse. No! Watch carefully, He removed the correct fuse #17. It's a 5 Amp fuse not #5 fuse.

There is a back up slot for the smart key under dash for emergency start from the dead fob battery.

Great work.

6:34 That bottle of motor oil is always come in handy!

I would wager the leak is coming from the tailgate as these are a known weak point on most Land Rover/Range Rover products. Especially if the drainage is compromised ir ‘overwhelmed’. Another possibility may be from the sun roof or roof bar areas. Range Rover trunk areas are favourite areas for placing sensitive equipment and these issues could also be caused by an over zealous ‘valet’ as I experienced with an 2009 TDV8 which affected the compressor electricals which were located in the spare wheel compartment below the trunk floor. All in all a great diagnosis.

Well done range rover for mounting units upside down 🤦🏻‍♂️ I was always taught to mount wires out if bottom so water doesnt enter.
